“Submission of the Night” bonus, Hendricks the night’s “Knockout of the Night” award, and Fight of the Night” honors went to McDonald and Figueroa
MMAjunkie.com
(www.mmajunkie.com) confirmed the bonus winners and award amounts with UFC officials.

UFC Fight Night 24 took place at KeyArena in Seattle and served as the promotion’s first-ever event in the state of Washington. The night’s main card
aired on Spike TV, and five preliminary-card fights streamed on Facebook.

The $55,000 bonuses were a record for a Fight Night event.

Jung earned his award by implementing the first successful twister submission (neck/spine crank) in UFC history. The victory came in a rematch and avenged a controversial split-decision loss to Leonard Garcia in 2010.

Hendricks earned his award with a vicious 95-second TKO of T.J. Waldburger, who was floored with a series of powerful left hands from the former NCAA Division I wrestling standout.

McDonald and Figueroa, meanwhile, competed in a bout that appears lopsided on the scorecards (30-27 across the board) but proved much more competitive and entertaining. McDonald got the win, but Figueroa’s equally relentless pace and many submission escapes helped earn both fighters a standing ovation.
